They say it's best to play things safe That good things come to those who wait But I was never one to play the waiting game They say that bad things come in threes But by my trials measure me 'Cause I don't play the numbers Or do things by degrees They say the truth will set you free But their truth doesn't work for me I'll make my fate by my own hand Take your chance, make your play Find the one that almost got away Fill your hand, seize the day Live the life that almost got away They say that all we'll get is hurt But I can think of a hundred things worse I'd rather love and lose than have Never loved at all They say that all the world's a stage An act we cannot disengage They say that we're all doomed to fail Take your chance, make your play Find the one that almost got away Fill your hand, seize the day Live the life that almost got away No evading What's the point in waiting? Time is ever pressing on Take your chance, make your play Find the one that almost got away Fill your hand, seize the day Live the life that almost got away Take your chance There's no day but today Find the one that almost got away Face the change Seize the day Live the life that almost got away
